The Wason selection task, a standard test of conditional reasoning, has featured prominently in experimental studies of cognitive adaptations for cooperation. The most prominent of these is Cosmides' investigations of cheater detection on social contract versions of the Wason selection task [Cognition 31 (1989) 187–276]. Subsequent to Cosmides' initial investigations, several researchers [Evol ...

The Worst iris claw intraocular lens (IOL) (ArtisanTM, VerisyseTM) has been in use for many years as an anterior chamber IOL in aphakic eyes without capsular support. Amar (1) was the first author to suggest a retropupillary implantation as an alternative method to the anterior fixation. However, because of the possibility of pigment dispersion due to rubbing of the anterior IOL surface at the ...

The rootmeristem (RM) isa fundamental structure that is responsible for postembryonic rootgrowth.TheRMcontainsthequiescent center (QC), stemcells and frequently dividingmeristematic cells, inwhich the timing and the frequency of cell division are tightly regulated. In Arabidopsis thaliana, several gain-of-function analyses have demonstrated that peptide ligands of the CLAVATA3 (CLV3)/EMBRYO SUR...

The mammalian brain maintains few developmental niches where neurogenesis persists into adulthood. One niche is located in the olfactory system where the olfactory bulb continuously receives functional interneurons. In vivo two-photon microscopy of lentivirus-labeled newborn neurons was used to directly image their development and maintenance in the olfactory bulb. Timelapse imaging of newborn ...

Silybin, a major pharmacologically active compound in silymarin, has been widely used in combination with other prescriptions in the clinic to treat hepatitis and a host of other diseases. Previous studies suggested that silybin is a potential inhibitor of multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs); however, the in vitro to in vivo translation and the mechanisms involved remain established. The ...

3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP) is a cardiovascular drug currently used for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. The present study aims to investigate the metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and excretion of NBP in humans and identify the enzymes responsible for the formation of major metabolites. NBP underwent extensive metabolism after an oral administration of 200 mg NBP and 23metabolites were identified ...

Far from supporting the widely held view that activist campaigns are changing corporate behavior, Seidman’s case studies point to the ineffectiveness of independent monitoring. Monitors do not usually have the time or resources to visit every site. Because monitors are dependent on corporate funding and need permission to access workplaces, their independence from the corporations they regulate...
